Charnella Friesia 4 was also selectively bought by Mr Binny, who remained active, and added Valley View Chiffon with a calf at foot and a price tag of $4000 to his shopping list.

Mr Binny said he was selecting early maturing females with exceptional softness to join to his Elite Red Factor sire.

Milford Pastoral Company, Beaudesert, selected a line of four females to average $5812.

Graham and Kay Blanch also offered Charnelle Digna 154 (AI) (P), a daughter of Charnelle Von Trapp from the Digna female family, on account of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and LifeFlight.

Charnelle Digna sold for $3750 to three young Charolais breeders Caity Cox plus Charlotte and Jessica Cooper, who have registered the stud prefix CCJ’s Charolais, Willowbank.

In all, a total of 63 females were offered with 50 lots selling to represent a clearance of 79 per cent.

Topping the bull section of the catalogue was Jay Tees Light of Day, a 18 month-old son of Artois from Jay Tees Just Early, offered by Judith Turner and sold the Morice family, Crows Nest.

A total of 45 embryos averaged $547 and 316 straws of semen averaged $78 per straw. Both the Royal Flying Doctor Service and LifeFlight were the beneficiaries again with the proceeds of five lots going directly to them.

As well, 10 per cent of the balance of the embryo and semen sales were donated to the charities with Elders wavering their commission charges.

“We were very happy with the overall sale result and the solid support we received,” Mr Blanch said.

“In total we raised $20,000 of our charity lots and the heifer.

“That means both LifeFlight and the RFDS will receive about $10,000 each.” Selling agents: Elders and Elite Livestock Auctions.
